Steven:

Good afternoon, and welcome to BP!  May I offer this small piece of advice?

As you're about to embark on this very exciting new endeavor, I would HIGHLY recommend you meet with a mortgage/financial professional and share with her both your short- and long-term goals. When you do this, she will be able to help you construct a plan that will enable you to reach your short-term goals and reap benefits that will provide the resources you'll need (and want) to reach your long-term goals. Many new investors start off "hot", and they end up either overdeveloping their first property or they spend their money too fast - either way, they short-circuit their plans and end up sort of scuttling both their short- and long-term goals. A mortgage/financial pro will be able to give you the guidance you'll need to avoid those potential pitfalls. If you don't know a mortgage/financial pro, I would highly recommend seeking out two or three RE investors whom you trust (and you've seen them with a successful track record) and ask them for a referral to such a professional.

I wish you the very best!

Good evening, and welcome to BP!  May I offer you this piece of advice (and since my company is not licensed in South Carolina, you can rest assured I'm not trying to sell you anything or "hook you" into using my services):

Juliano:

Good evening, and welcome to BP!  Your plan is solid, and the fact you acknowledge the need for a mentor says a lot about your maturity - way to go!

We work with a number of RE investors and agents/brokers who are very successful.  If you would like some referrals - just people to talk to and "interview" - I'd be more than happy to point you in their direction.

Good evening, and welcome to BP!  I hope this advice comes across as it's meant (just advice) rather than a pitch for your business - since my company is not licensed in New Jersey, you can rest assured that we're not trying to sell you anything.  : )
